Does My Emachines T3025 really support DCRAM?

[csw3190]

I was going to bed one night and for soem reading material i picked up what seemed to be a generic Mobo manual, but it was for my six month emachines t3025. I noticed that it said that this mobo supports dual channel! can this be right, and is there any way to find out w/o buying DCRAM? (i called the "company" (who i thought manufactured the MOBO) but apparently tehy don't support OEM products )

Dual channel is a feature of the motherboard. There is no such thing as DCRAM as far as I know. When stores advertise dual channel memory, it is just a gimmick to sell you more items

yes this machine does, its on nVidia N-Force-2 chipset, that supports Dual Channel DDR's.

but keep in mind there isnt anything like DCRAM

So there's no "special" type of RMA (tagged DCRAM etc) that i have to buy. Any any budget 256 or 512 stick will operate at DC speeds?

just use 2 memory modules that are the same size & speed, and preferably same brand/ model. I think you should just forget about adding memory, it's not needed or worth it since you already have 512MB. more info
